My Dear Killer (1972)
This Italian/Spanish giallo comes to us from director Tonino Valerii, who wrote The Long Hair of Death and directed plenty of great spaghetti westerns like Day of Anger and My Name is Nobody. He’s recruited George Hilton for this film, who was also in Sartana’s Here… Trade Your Pistol for a Coffin, as well as giallo classics like The Sweet […]
Watch Me When I Kill (1977)
Antonio Bido also directed the giallo The Blood Stained Shadow, which I tend to enjoy more than this one. However, how great is the title of this film?

Giallo In Venice (1979)
Let’s get it straight: giallo can class it up at times, but at its heart, it’s a scummy and brutal genre.

Pensione Paura (1978)

An arrangement like that led to arguments on […]

That leads him to be part of his father-in-law’s plan to smuggle jewels across the U.S./Mexico border. Things go wrong and he’s left for dead. Can he […]
Let the Corpses Tan (2017)
With Amer and The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears, the married co-directing couple Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani announced to the world that they were a new force, bringing back the look and feel of the giallo for a new century. Based on the novel Laissez Bronzer les Cadavres, this film expands their narrative point of view to […]
